A jetted tub is wonderful until the jets start blowing out grime. Here is how East Orange homeowners can keep the system clean and running right.
Why jets get dirty
The tub's plumbing holds water after each use, and that leftover water grows soap scum, oils, and bacteria inside the lines. The first blast of the next bath pushes it all into the water.
The monthly flush
Fill the tub above the jets with warm water, add a jetted-tub cleaner or a low-suds dishwasher detergent, and run the jets for 10 to 15 minutes. Drain, refill with clean water, and run again to rinse.
The pump and air controls
Keep the air controls open when the tub is not in use so the lines can dry. Check the pump for leaks and listen for unusual noise. freezing winters put stress on exposed lines, and many older buildings have aging supply and drain lines In East Orange, hard water can leave scale in the lines over time.
When it needs service
If the jets sputter, the pump hums without flow, or the tub leaks underneath, the pump or the plumbing needs a pro. Ignoring a leak under a tub rots the floor below.
Soak clean
